Here, we report proteome profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-originated, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived, lens-like organoids termed lentoid bodies at two differentiation time points. A small aliquot of the blood sample was ascertained to collect PBMCs that were reprogrammed to iPSCs. The PBMC-originated, iPSCs were differentiated to lentoid bodies employing the "fried egg" method. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed increased expression levels of lens-associated markers in lentoid bodies while transmission electron microscopy identified closely packed lens epithelial- and differentiating fiber-like cells in lentoid bodies. Total cellular protein was extracted from lentoid bodies at differentiation day 25 and mass spectrometry identified a total of 9,473 proteins. The low counts of crystallin proteins at differentiation day 25 prompted us to re-examine the proteome at differentiation day 35 as we reasoned that 10 additional days of differentiation will increase the crystallin count. However, we did not detect any substantial increase in crystallin protein counts at differentiation day 35. In conclusion, we report generation and proteome profiles of PBMC-originated, iPSC-derived lentoid bodies at multiple differentiation time points.

The pathological mechanisms of cataract remain largely unknown due to the lack of appropriate in vitro cellular models. We developed a stable in vitro system, namely, a "fried egg" differentiation method to generate functional lentoid bodies (LBs) from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The iPSCs-derived LBs exhibited crystalline lens-like morphology and a transparent structure, and expressed lens-specific markers.

Purpose: The role of specific extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules in lens cell development and regeneration is poorly understood, as appropriate cellular models are lacking. Here, a laminin-based lens cell in vitro induction system was developed to study the role of laminin in human lens epithelial stem/progenitor cell (LES/PC) development.
Methods: The human embryonic stem cell-based lens induction system followed a three-stage protocol.

In vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into specialized tissues and organs represents a powerful approach to gain insight into those cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating human development. Although normal embryonic eye development is a complex process, generation of ocular organoids and specific ocular tissues from pluripotent stem cells has provided invaluable insights into the formation of lineage-committed progenitor cell populations, signal transduction pathways, and self-organization principles. This review provides a comprehensive summary of recent advances in generation of adenohypophyseal, olfactory, and lens placodes, lens progenitor cells and three-dimensional (3D) primitive lenses, "lentoid bodies", and "micro-lenses".

The lens is a relatively special and simple organ. It has become an ideal model to study the common developmental characteristics among different organic systems. Lens development is a complex process influenced by numerous factors, including signals from the intracellular and extracellular environment.

Our previous study observed that human induced pluripotent stem cell (HiPSC)-derived lentoid bodies (LBs) became cloudy with extended culture time, partially mimicking the progress of human age-related cataracts (ARCs) in a dish. In the present study, lanosterol, a potential anticataract drug, was used to further verify the value of this model in drug screening for cataract treatment. Mature LBs on day 25, which were differentiated from HiPSCs using the "fried egg" method, were continually cultured and treated with either dimethyl sulfoxide (control) or lanosterol.
